The true test of a pedal for me is whether it can knock something else off my tour pedalboard, which just doesn’t happen very often. Amazingly, two EarthQuaker pedals were able to do that: the Gray Channel displaced a vintage MXR Distortion+ that I had been using since high school, and the Grand Orbiter took the place of my old MXR Phase 100. I can think of no higher praise.
